Paper Dolls...

My mom makes the coolest art dolls. She inspired me to make some dolls of my own out of paper. So~this is what I came up with...

Here are some of the "girls" that my mom, Willa, makes......really cool~right?!?

Star Books

Star books...there are several steps to making these books. I like the entire process. The more complicated-the better. I do love a challenge. So many people don't quite know what to do with these. You can add parts of your favorite poem~quotes~

pictures~the possibilities are endless.

Summer Creations

I have been busy making some new books and journals to post on Etsy and for galleries. I can't believe that summer is over and school has started! Give me some feedback on these latest journals.

The paper is made in Thailand-I love this paper! There are 140 pages. The longest process is cutting the pages!

Binding the books is my favorite process.

What's New?!?

I have been working on some journals and books for an upcoming show that I am doing on August 14 and 15 called Art in Action. It will be at the Knox County Art League in Mt. Vernon. So far I have 10 journals done and 11 books sewn without covers. I will post some pictures when I get some new batteries for my camera. So in the mean time--I am going to post some more artwork from the "Tempted" show. I am going to the Art Walk tonight in Downtown Newark-hope it's good!

This is "Meet Temptation". I'll bet you have seen him before!!

"The Walk" I don't think I want to walk there anytime soon!!
